Already very prominent on Steam for some time with titles like Sea of thieves, Microsoft Flight Simulator and Age of Empires 4, this November marks the consecration of Xbox Game Studios as a powerhouse of PC video games thanks to the resounding successes of Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5. Like a homecoming for Microsoft, which was already producing PC games in the 90s long before considering the Xbox project. Placed between the two big XGS games, Battlefield 2042 would have liked to have participated in the party, but his catastrophic evaluations instead invite him to quietly return to work.
This month of November also marked the debut of two studios in the world of self-publishing: Giants Software with Farming Simulator 22 and Frogwares with Sherlock Holmes Chapter One. The first is certainly much more successful than the second, but no concern for Frogwares, which recalled being pleased with the record launch of its investigative game. The same goes for the agricultural simulation, by the way.
It is now common, China is once again well represented with the FPS Bright Memory: Infinite but also Fate seeker ii and Moncage. It is a little less the case of Japan this month, which just points the tip of its nose at the bottom of the rankings with the RPGs Final Fantasy V Pixel Remaster and Blue Reflection: Second Light.
Finally, Unpacking and Exo One stand out with their original concepts while Ruined King: A League of Legends Story created the surprise by leaving without warning.
